Hi I use the BC V1 too. here's what I receive http://micra.org.uk/threads/pollymobiles-rebuild.35251/page-12#post-422090 was direct fit BUT cos it's all fully adjustable it won't be configured out the box for your car (compared to pre-defined fixed suspension kits) so it's very important to...

check ignition timing

;)

yes I once had a loose rattling clutch plate spring. when it was in neutral (no load through the clutch) with clutch engaged (disc spinning) and idled below 800rpm (not enough centrifugal force on the loose springs) the loose clutch springs would just rattle about in their housing due to...

if the gear selector bushes are really worn loose, causing difficulty engaging 1st/2nd and rattling in 5th, they need replacing/upgrading. also check if the gearstick balljoint housing bolts are loose. mine had once came loose, stick was soo vague I couldn't select any gears.

I've always found the genuine nissan HG to seal the best against my 10psi 160bhp over several trackdays and easy to clean too. other cheaper ebay HG ain't so good. the £70 genuine HG is actually made by victor reinz 61-28950-00 and can be sourced cheaper from £35...

remove the old seized TB waxstat, clean the IAV, sync the dizzy timing and readjust the idle bleed screw http://micra.org.uk/threads/pollymobiles-rebuild.35251/page-19#post-446256

check both the single terminal temperature gauge sensor and the twin terminal coolant sensors are working within spec ohms. ecu will only trigger the fan relay if the coolant sensors showing above 95c

ahh that's so clever, why didn't I think of using that route :)

I've once written a metaphor to describe the PCV circuit here: http://micra.org.uk/threads/my-little-knitting-needles-sw7672-1-3-turbo.52965/page-30#post-622193 the PCV only allows crankcase gases to be sucked one-way into the inlet mani to be burnt during high vacuum closed throttle. during...

check the gearstick balljoint retainer cup bolt (#10 and #3 in pic) hasn't loosened n allowing the stick to flop about hence difficult to select gears http://nissan4u.com/parts/micra/el_k11e/1998_1/type_40/power_train/transmission_control_and_linkage/ and yeah check the rear engine mount too...

did you apply grease to the collar that the release bearing slides along? cos when I made that mistake, at first it felt light/normal as you said but eventually the dirt/dust gathers on the tacky grease, making it really thick n sticky which increases resistance so the pedal will feel very...

Yes check the blog link

check my blog for pics n info of the actual BC V1 coilovers http://micra.org.uk/threads/pollymobiles-rebuild.35251/page-12#post-422090

looks bout right

32mm thickness certainly sounds like alot more surface area to handle anything within what the stock internals will handle before going forged. that filler neck looks very tall, wonder if it'll allow the bonnet to shut. keep us updated ;)

running 160bhp on trackdays, my old dirty thin 16mm stock rad used to overheat after 2-3laps. then I fitted a new thicker 26mm k11 automatic radiator by Nissen, direct fit and absolutely no prob ever handling the 160bhp on a hot day all day long even on a 51min session :)...

usually suggest removing the old seized waxstat mechanism off the pre-face TB, clean & configure the IACV, adjust throttle cable till its just slack when closed, adjust TPS, synchronise the ecu IGN timing with the crank, and then adjust the idle speed screw. the IACV is a precision valve...
